ABOUT THE FACILITATOR - NASTAZJA PALONKA
Nastazja has been involved with theatre for over 10 years, first learning QLab in the McMaster University Theatre program, being involved with sound design. She then went on to work with various companies in the Hamilton, and Toronto area as a stage manager and later working tech for the Hamilton, Toronto, and Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Nastazja uses her skills in QLab programming to design soundscapes, input sound, and create an easier way of playing back audio cues for productions in a way that is convenient for stage managers or technicians running the show. She believes that learning QLab allows artists to have all their cues in one space, enabling a show to be easily transferable to different environments without needing other programs or means for playing back sound.
